Have not heard from A.S.M. or dogs. Cloudy day. E. did not go to church. Had rather late breakfast & could not make bed before I went. Sermon about Dives & Lazarus. Was very cold in heart and only half-attentive. Will came up as usual & said he thought he had seen the kitten on the Prevosts pavement. Begged him to take it home if he saw it again and I would go down for it after S.S. which I could not do as it rained. Children very sweet but I do not do my duty with them. F.F. not there.
